Massimiliano Allegri was satisfied with the result but was particularly angry by the lack of intensity shown by his side in the final stages of the game.
After going up 3-1 against Carpi, Juventus dropped deep and allowed the newly-promoted side to get back into the game. While Allegri will be happy with the three points, he was quick to underline his side’s lack of control in the final going. In his post-match interview with Sky, the former Milan boss said,:
“It was important to win today on a difficult field against an in-form side. The ball wasn’t moving that quickly and the players did well up until the last five minutes where we made a mess of things. We used past experiences like the one against Frosinone to see this one through which was a very similar game to the one today where we conceded a late equalizer. We didn’t start the game well as we were a bit all over the place. After Boriello’s goal the team did good.”
When asked where his side can improve after the Christmas break, Allegri said,:
“The team is feeling good at the moment. We have to keep working hard to reach the 16th of May in the best condition possible. It won’t take much to recharge our batteries but Carpi’s miss at the end of the game serves as a reminder.”
Allegri concluded the interview highlighting the importance of the three points. The Italian tactician said,:
“It was important to jump into second place. In modern football, games are never closed. We have to grow and start 2016 off on the right foot. Looking at the numbers, I could say that Juve won seven games in a row gaining points on Napoli, Roma and Fiorentina but not Inter, who are still going strong. We have to look at ourselves considering we’re coming from behind and that why it was important to win today. It was important to win today considering the amount of points we have dropped against smaller sides. We had to go into 2016 with a win to continue our streak. I’ll be watching Lazio-Inter later also because we have Lazio in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia.”
